bringing better blasting to industry
Welcome to BlastPrep.com
BlastPrep is a resource to help make my customer's abrasive blasting operations cleaner, safer, more reliable and productive.
With over 35 years hands-on blasting experience – including blast equipment R&D, applications engineering, marketing & sales, service & training – I can help you meet your toughest challenges.
The information on this site will help you get the most out of blasting. You’ll find a frank dialogue about blasting's ins and outs – and we’ll air some things others don’t say. I hope my experience will help you avoid many of the pitfalls I see every day.
I am an expert on blast cabinets, walk-in blast rooms, and automatic systems. As a regional* manager for the Dawson-Macdonald Company, it is also my job to show you how you can benefit from better blasting systems, media, and upgrades.
I can help you with newer technologies such as dry ice blasting, Armex® bicarb blasting, slurry blasting, micro-blasting, laser stripping - along with shot peening, abrasive reclaimation, air-fed respirators, and industrial air filtration / dust collection.
Dawson-Macdonald represents most of the leading brands in blasting and industrial air filtration, including Axxiom (Schmidt), Empire, Wet Technologies, Wheelabrator, Ruwac, Torit-Donaldson – and dozens of additional manufacturers. No company has our extensive background in the industry. We service what we sell. And I want to see you succeed. Let's get started!
BlastPrep.com is created and hosted by Mark Hanna, who manages sales regionally for Dawson-Macdonald.
